Junk Day

Our little city has a Spring Clean Up Day. The City will pick up all the junk you haul out to the curb. Even appliances. I think the only restriction is leaves and grass clippings!! (Those get picked up on a separate day)

So last night The Man cleaned out the garage and created a big pile at our curbside. Not only did we get rid of a lot of space-sucking-stuff, we also found the rake! (last weekend I had to use the one with the heavy metal tines- it should be used for weeding or breaking up rock-hard earth, not raking leaves).

Last evening, through the night, and still this morning there are trucks and minivans, and even a car with a trailer, cruising up and down the streets picking through our "treasures". I wasn't surprised when a couple people picked out some scrap wood. But when I started seeing several trucks every 15minutes or so...

Our junk pile is noticeably smaller this morning. The stream of trucks has slowed, but the speed they drive past has increased.
